PRECAUTIONS FOR DISCONNECTING CABLE FROM NEGATIVE (-) battery TERMINAL
After the ignition switch is turned off, there may be a waiting time before disconnecting the negative (-) battery terminal.
When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery.
When disconnecting and reconnecting the battery, there is an automatic learning function that completes learning when the respective system is used.
IGNITION SWITCH EXPRESSIONS
The type of ignition switch used on this model differs depending on the specifications of the vehicle. The expressions listed in the table below are used in this section.
| Expression | Ignition Switch (Position) | Engine Switch (Condition) |
|---|---|---|
| Ignition Switch off | LOCK | Off (Lock) |
| Ignition Switch ACC | ACC | On (ACC) |
| Ignition Switch ON | ON | On (IG) |
| Engine Start | START | On (Start) |
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM TROUBLESHOOTING
Because the order of diagnosis is important to allow correct diagnosis, make sure to begin troubleshooting using How to Proceed with Troubleshooting when CAN communication system related DTCs are output.
Precaution for steering system handling
Be careful when replacing parts. Incorrect replacement could affect the performance of the steering system and result in hazardous driving.
Precaution for SRS airbag system handling
This vehicle is equipped with a Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) which includes parts such as airbags for the driver and front passenger. Failure to carry out service operations in the correct sequence could cause unexpected SRS deployment during servicing and may cause a serious accident. Before servicing (including removal or installation of parts, inspection or replacement), be sure to read Precaution for SRS.
Precaution for when disconnecting a wire harness from a CAN junction connector
When disconnecting a wire harness from a CAN junction connector, use tape or tags to identify each connector and make sure to reconnect each connector to its original location on the CAN junction connector.
There is a CAN junction that can be installed at the preferred installation position. When the connector is disconnected, connect it at its original location to prevent incorrect installation.
For identifying where to connect CAN junctions and CAN junction connectors, refer to "Terminals of ECU".
Bus line repair
When repairing a CAN line or other communication line, make sure the untwisted portion of the wires is as short as possible, and wrap the line with tape while twisting the Hi/Lo wires together so that there is no separation between them.
Untwisting and separation between wires may degrade equipment performance.
| *a | Bypass Wire |
Do not use bypass wiring between connectors.
The ability of the twisted bus lines to resist interference will be lost if bypass wiring is used.
Do not use a twisted pair of wires for bypass wiring.
Connector handling
| *a | Tester Probe |
When checking resistance with a tester, insert the tester probes from the backside (harness side) of the connector.
| *a | Service Wire |
When it is not possible to insert the tester from the backside of the connector, using service wires, measure from the front side of the connector.
Precaution for when replacing a gateway function equipped ECU (sub bus monitoring ECU)
When replacing a gateway equipped function ECU (sub bus monitoring ECU) with one which was installed to another vehicle, perform initialization of the sub bus monitoring ECU in order to clear stored bus information.
If the stored bus information does not match the current sub bus configuration, DTCs may be stored and fail-safe functions may operate.
It is not necessary to perform initialization of a gateway monitoring ECU (sub bus monitoring ECU) when using a sub bus monitoring ECU which was installed to another vehicle with the same sub bus configuration.
Precautions for when a gateway function equipped ECU (sub bus monitor ECU) detects communication DTCs for ECUs not connected to the ECU
Refer to precautions when replacing a gateway function equipped ECU (sub bus monitoring ECU) and initialize the connection information of the ECU.
Clear the DTCs and check that no DTCs are output.
Difference between genuine navigation receivers/radio and display receivers and optional navigation receivers/radio and display receivers
Some optional navigation receivers/radio and display receivers are available as CAN compatible devices. Be aware that some optional navigation receivers/radio and display receivers do not have the same diagnostic features or characteristics of genuine navigation receivers/radio and display receivers.
Optional navigation receivers/radio and display receivers receive data from the CAN communication system. However, most optional navigation receivers/radio and display receivers do not send signals to the CAN bus main line.
Most optional navigation receivers/radio and display receivers will not be displayed on the "CAN Bus Check" screen of the GTS.
When checking for DTCs using the GTS, DTCs for optional navigation receivers/radio and display receivers will not be displayed on the GTS.
